The "V-8's" also used special rubber tires that had a rubber flange so they would stay on the track. They must have been interesting to drive on the highway!

Always referred to as "THE V 8"....  I believe it had a built in "turntable" under the center of the car so it could be turned around. 

 

I remember my grandfather talking about the time the St. Joe Division Superintendent  came to Rock Port over the RPL&N in his "Ford V8"  They made use of the built in "turntable" since the RPL&N had no turning facilities at either end.

Nelson, The 9028 is a 1936 Ford. For more information check Bulletin #39 Track Inspection.

I don't know the make or model year of the car in the photo. I'm trying to determine the paint scheme for the post-war period circa 1950. If the vehicle was painted maroon, would the lettering be Dulux Gold (yellow) or white. >
